Bristol and Avon
Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Bristol and Avon
Wind exposure differs across the South West, so we match the sill, seals and track to the position of your Bristol and Avon frontage.
A folding front lets a Bristol and Avon cafe or bar open to the street in good weather and still close up securely at night. Installing a bi-fold in Bristol and Avon usually means taking out the old front, and teams working across the South West can plan that around your trading hours.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Bristol and Avon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bristol and Avon, including Bristol.
Will a folding front let in draughts?
A well-fitted system seals when closed, using gaskets and a weather bar at the sill. The trade-off is at the threshold: a flatter track is easier for wheelchairs but less weather resistant. We design the sill around the exposure of your frontage and any drainage needed.
Can a bi-fold front be used as a fire exit?
Not by default. An escape door must open easily without special knowledge, and a multi-panel fold often does not, so the traffic door or a separate exit usually serves that role. Your fire risk assessment should cover this and be kept up to date.
How many panels does a bi-fold front need?
That depends on the width of the opening, with panels usually around 700 to 1,100 mm wide. An odd number of panels lets one work as a single traffic door for daily use, so you do not have to fold the whole front.
